A butch superhero starring in the latest Hollywood blockbuster, or rather a weedy geek in a back-to- school advertisement. Many characters, many possibilities, but for a lot of budding actors ONE ‘type’. The first thing to mention is that whatever ‘type’ you are reflects nothing about you personally or your behaviour as a human being, actually it makes you more certain as a performer and clearer in choosing characters you are likely to take on and play.
One of the biggest factors facing many actors entering the entertainment industry today is the question of where to train, and where best to seek this training in order to jet start ones career. Whether deciding to audition for a top drama school, or taking a more academic approach through a university drama degree, neither is better nor worse than the other. Both these paths lead to very different ends and can have varying impacts on what it is you hope to pursue, or how you wish to establish yourself in the industry.
